No need to start a list or sign up, just show up if you want to go on a great drive, see some nice cars and most importantly, if you can wake up on time

 

I went last year and had a blast. I'll try to make it this year as well.

 

so what does the aftarwards cruise consist of?

 

No one knows until you're handed the map.

 

Have fun guys. Unless I go to vegas, I'll be going on the TRE cup new years drive for the third year in a row.

 

Yep thats pretty much how it is, but it will be the back roads of Irvine/Orange in one way, shape or form.

 

Scott if I don't go to Vegas for the New Year I will def be there.

 

damn, i want to go but i gotta work for half the day......

 

Work the second half of the day! We will be done by 12-12:30

 

I caught your post. I'm not quite for sure whats going on that day other than trying to get tickets to the Rose Bowl game. If I don't go to the game, I'll be there. Its been too long since my last cruise!

 

^^ Whoa Jon how the hell are you bro? Long time no see or post.

 

Nice, hope you can make it out if you don't find tix to the game. Yeah, my last cruise was this same event last year!

 

Hey Ed,
Yea I've been really busy with work. I haven't had much time till the holidays finally hit for me to even get somewhat of a decent break,ha!
Looks like I will be seeing ya New Years, the tickets fell through.

 

indeed it was mine as well i may make it, depending on whos going from the z peoples. no reason to get up early if the company isnt good(especially since i will be just hungover ). though i dont think i have met you guys before.

 

so early

 

Yep its early for New Years day, thats why there is no sign up list! I overslept a couple years ago and missed it!

If you can wake up though, its easily one of the best car events of the year, especially if you are into the whole "Cars N Coffee" thing.

 

Daaaaaaang it! I have a web release from 8-noon tomorrow. This would have been so cool. Crap.

 

Dang, you work too much!

 

Not too bad really, it's just at month-end we do a lot of extra stuff. We would normally do our release at midnight tonight but because of new years they let us push it back until 8AM...so that we can attempt to do it hungover instead of actually having drinks in hand. The better of two evils I suppose.

 

The cars ready. Will I be?
